The involvement of mobile technologies in
education has occurred in many disciplines and
contexts, and language teaching fild has no
exception. The use of handheld computers or cell
phones to support language learning is called
“mobile-assisted language learning” or MALL.
According to Kukulska-Hume (2009), MALL has
attracted much attention since it is a new type of
learning environment with a combination ofmobile
technology, learner mobility, mobility of content,
and so on. The use of personal portable device,
continuity of access, and communication across
diverse contexts of use make MALL different from
computer-assisted language learning (KukulskaHume & Shield, 2008). The importance of MALL is
in accordance with what Chinnery (2006) used to predict in that mobile-assisted language learning
would certainly appear in future language learning
